How to resolve AdBlock issue? CORINTH — Like many rural communities, Northern Saratoga County has seen an increased need for emergency food assistance and Hudson River Community Credit Union (HRCCU) along with its local partners stand ready to answer the call.
In an effort to provide much needed food assistance to area residents, HRCCU and Corinth CSD in partnership with the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York will team up to host a drive-thru food pantry for area residents on Thursday, April 30 starting at 9 am in the Corinth Elementary School campus parking lot (356 Center Street).
This no-contact, no-cost, food distribution event was set up to provide residents with an additional opportunity to receive fresh produce, dairy and frozen meats along with non-perishable items. Food will be available while supplies last.
To ensure the safety and health of all involved, there will be a drive-by distribution process. Residents are advised to stay in their vehicle until they are prompted to receive their food. Seniors living in Corinth, Hadley and Lake Luzerne can also fill out a form on the HRCCU website to have food delivered directly to their home.
The drive-thru food pantry is the result of a partnership between HRCCU, Corinth CSD, Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY, Saratoga Regional YMCA, Corinth’s First Presbyterian Church, Corinth Food Pantry, and the Capital Region Community COVID-19 Response Fund.
“This event is a great example of how collaborations between businesses, government and nonprofit organizations can come together to rapidly address issues like food shortages in our area,” said Sue Commanda, CEO of Hudson River Community Credit Union. “We want people to know that whoever you are, wherever you are, if you need food, we are here for you.”
